Definition(s)

  • The brain computes at least three distinct types of representation of the human body. One type of representation, known as body semantics (or body image in the classical literature) codes long-term explicit knowledge about body parts, their functions, and their associates (e.g., the wrist is the place where a watch or bracelet is worn).
